Benefits of Growing Friendships

March 1, 2010 / News and Notes / Wagners Greenhouse

Two Boys Arms Around Eachother

Happy St. Pat’s day to all, even if you aren’t Irish! Remember to wear the green!

I read an article recently in an alumnae magazine and want to share some of the info with you. It was called “Friendship, A prescription for Health.” A daily dose of friendship can make your life more fun and it can make your life healthier. It’s a timeless home remedy with no complications and will help maintain a healthy lifestyle and longevity. It is nothing trendy, controversial, or political. Health studies have shown that social ties have been linked to reducing risk of disease, lower blood pressure, heart rate, and cholesterol levels. These facts are results of studies at Harvard U and UCLA. The advantages we gain from maintaining lifelong friends extend beyond physical alleviations, but also benefit physiological benefit. That’s just some of the reasons why we at Wagners value your friendship!

P.S. Did you know your thumb is usually the same length as your nose? Try it!!! Remember! A bouquet of daffodils or tulips really brings spring inside!
